Also telcos need to power their cellular base stations and associated equipment in remote locations that are off the power grid in order has a wider coverage. But power lines cost an average of $1,000 per kilometer and can take years to install. Consequently most homes, offices and telcos buy generators to power their appliances and equipment.
